Show Us Your Label

[FearItself]

My second label. The recipe for my first actual beer was the Dogfish Head 60 min. IPA clone, which inspired the name. This version of the label is actually from my second iteration of this recipe, by which time I had decided I needed a brand: Gearhead Brewing.

 

[FearItself]

My third label was for a pale ale that used only Amarillo hops, so I decided I needed a Texas theme. I was still stuck on rabbits, though. This batch was done before I added the "Gearhead" brand.

 

[FearItself]

My most recent label is for a summer blonde ale. This is the first one designed after I settled on the "Gearhead" brand, so I was looking for mechanical themes. Combined with blondes. The only problem was that I couldn't choose which art to use, so I just did three versions of the label and used them all.

2 label ideas I came up with for a barlywine that me and my neighbor brewed. Were only a week and a half in primary into this bad boy.

I decided to alter the first label I ever did in the paint.net program that replaces Microsoft paint with one that has some PS features. It's now my brewery logo. I did the constellation Perseus with the man in the moon makin' like Mr. Bill...

Not nearly as advanced as you wizards but using snip tool and powerpoint (limit of my artistic ability) I've got these for my new few brews:

Version 2 of my Mumme label, after finding some new artwork;

 

[unionrdr]

Well, that last one changed in light of another version of the Mumme recipe being written just now. The Mystic Mumme is actually the lighter English, all gruit version. The new one, called Monk's Mumme, will be the heavier German version with a load of German traditional hops for bittering, removing the blessed thistle, but retaining the other gruits. That seems to have been done in some combination since medieval times. With Mumme, it is considered the first ale to be switched to the use of hops. So here's the new ones;

I have this saison in primary now.

Latest labels. The Fresh Squeezed is a clone, so I cheated and used their label as I really do like it!

That 007 one is awesome. Very clever to use the spiral barrel as a background. Jealous I didn't think of that for something!

Thanks! With a hop name of 007 The Golden Hop, that is the first thing that came to mind for a label. I am just happy that I was able to barrel gold instead of black!

Step-sister of the Centennial Blonde. As I was brewing outside, it began to pour.

Been slaving away on this one for a while. This is the first beer I've made after moving to Colorado Springs in May. That's where the Voyager name comes from. A hoppy brown aged on oak.

I read that as drainpour first. Though I gave you props for making a label anyway

I love all your stuff CKelly, awesome awesome labels.
This is my try for my first label Learning inkscape as I go, having lots of fun

Thanks for the kind words. And way to go! This is looking really good. I like the font and color you have chosen and the hints of bright green really add a lot. Keep it up!

Do you use a tool to create your color palettes? Because they are all awesome

Kuler is great and I believe it's online and not just in photoshop

I second this. It's a very powerful tool but can get a little overwhelming sometimes too. A few times I've just found images online and pulled colors from those, whether it's one image with an awesome palette or several images that work well together.

My latest label.
This is a re-brew of one from last year that I really liked.

The horse is an Irish Pooka, which is a shape-changer that can help or harm smaller rural communities or the inhabitants. If you came across one at night there is no telling what it was going to do to you.

With it being hot as balls, decided to brew a Saison today with 007 hops (idaho 7), first time using them. Was all too easy inspiration for a label...

My first blended beer. A tart saison with a little funk.

Too funny, I just did a brew with 007 hops and did a similar label on the previous page!

Here's the Sequel. This is one of those cases where I had so much fun creating the first label for the Oatmeal Stout (My dog is named Atlas, his ears look Batman's cowl, they call him Batlas at daycare) that it drove the 2nd label which I then found a recipe to match. Won't be brewed for a while though:

Cider with mangoes currently in the secondary.
You probably know the original painting with the guy with the apple, the paintings name is Son of Man, so I thought I'd just extend man to mango.
I was also stoked to find that you can attach a UPC to Untappd now when adding your beer. Huzzah!View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1471448600.259549.jpg
